New York City Style: #1





New York City Style

New York City Style 

New York City Style has to be one of the most sought after styles of  fashion  in the world.  And yet, no one even thinks of NYC in these “branding” terms.  As a New York City Stylist for 20 years and a handbag designer for 15 years, I can conclusively say that the fashion street inspiration you see in NYC  is definitely a sought after style of fashion around the globe.

Clutch Bags NY Gives Thanks!!

Macy's Day Parade                                                         Macy’s  Day Parade

 

As the end of November approaches, so does that very palette pleasing last Thursday of the month we all  know of as Thanksgiving.  As it draws near, it is again time for us to reflect on the meaning of the holiday.  At Clutch Bags NY we feel that  gratitude, appreciation and thanks are in order as well.

When living in NYC, one can easily forget what there is to be thankful for.  Let’s be honest here. As a New Yorker living in the city, the smelly streets, cramped subway cars, and overpriced apartments can become annoyingly overwhelming most of the time which can make it difficult to appreciate.  The big city lights do not excite a New Yorker like they might excite the city’s tourists; which at times leaves the tourists standing still on a corner that happens to completely block  your path.  This over-populated, highly vibrant, and constantly moving city can feel like a big drag sometimes.  However, we have to keep  reminding ourselves why we live here by asking, “why is it that  people want to visit  THIS city?”  Continue reading

“It’s not quantity, it’s quality” Clutch bags

Screen Shot 2013-10-06 at 3.32.14 PM
The idea of quality over quantity has been around for as long as anyone can remember, but it has yet to penetrate the minds of many people. As you may or may not have noticed, this idea has started getting through to a few American companies–Clutch Bags NY being one of them. Right now, we find ourselves in a time where commercial pride is being brought back to the States in an effort to ensure the quality of a well-made product. This is called the Made in USA Movement. Streaming from this action, we have seen the rise of different companies who are dedicated to keeping American products made in America. Continue reading

That Clutch Bags time of year…

Central Park during the Fall! So pretty!

Central Park during the Fall! So pretty!

It’s that time of year again and you either love it or you hate it. The start of September means a lot of different things for different people. It could be the inevitable end of a great Summer, the anticipated arrival of a calm Fall, or the stress or excitement of going back to school or work. Whatever it is, we’re all going through it and there’s no need to be glum about it!

Yup, the degrees are steadily decreasing and what was once a cool Summer breeze is starting to feel a little biting. But before we start muttering curses against Winter, let’s take some time to appreciate Fall: the season of cosy comforts and warm colors. Though the weather isn’t something to rejoice about, Autumn fashion sure is! Continue reading

Clutch Bags’~ LABOR of LOVE ~

Clutch Bags NY, my Labor of Love

Clutch Bags NY, my Labor of Love

Today, I have pondered the meaning of Labor Day and what the meaning of the day means to my company, Clutch Bags NY and to the prosperity of my country.

In the United States, Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a celebration of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of their country.
This is the perfect day to take some time and think about your own contributions to the American work force in this country and what part you play in that force, be it worker or consumer. Continue reading

Clutch Bags Summer Combos

Hey, there!

Interested in purchasing a Clutch NY bag but not quite sure which one is for you? Keep reading!

Usually people buy bags depending on the color of clothing they have in their closets: a lot of black pants? Makes sense to get a black purse. A lot of white button ups? The white Mail Bag would match effortlessly. But how about mixing it up a little?

Walking the streets of New York City exposes one to fashion styles as diverse as the people who populate the city. As someone who appreciates different and unique styles, I try to pay attention to the motives behind a person’s outfit choice. As I stated before, a lot of people accessorize an outfit according to color schemes. However, recently I have noticed a correlation between shoe style and handbag style. If you’re not too sure which Clutch NY bag is best suited for you, take a look at the following Clutch Bags and shoes summer combos. Maybe you will find just what you’re looking for!

Clutch Bags: Made in USA

                                                  An American Factory

“I remember a great America where we made everything. There was a time when the only thing you got from Japan was a really bad cheap transistor radio that some aunt gave you for Christmas.” –Cher

The time when America made everything is, for most, a distant memory, and for some, it is an inexperienced history. For years, clothing, electronics, and other products have been branded with the words Made in China.  Though many American companies pride themselves on producing American products, the reality is that the production of these American ideas is really taking place in other countries—like China.  A prime example of this is the Ford Motors Company.  It is an American automobile company that promotes itself as the Great American Auto Manufacturer. However, many of its product parts are made in China, France, and Mexico and only assembled in the United States.  Continue reading
